                Proclamation 9766 of July 3, 2018

                
Honoring the Victims of the Tragedy in Annapolis, 
                Maryland

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Our Nation shares the sorrow of those affected by the 
                shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, 
                Maryland. Americans across the country are united in 
                calling upon God to be with the victims and to bring 
                aid and comfort to their families and friends. As a 
                mark of solemn respect for the victims of the terrible 
                act of violence perpetrated on June 28, 2018, by the 
                authority vested in me as President of the United 
                States by the Constitution and the laws of the United 
                States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the 
                United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White 
                House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all 
                military posts and naval stations, and on all naval 
                vessels of the Federal Government in the District of 
                Columbia and throughout the United States and its 
                Territories and possessions until sunset, July 3, 2018. 
                I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-
                staff for the same length of time at all United States 
                embassies, legations, consular offices, and other 
                facilities abroad, including all military facilities 
                and naval vessels and stations.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                third day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand 
                eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States 
                of America the two hundred and forty-second.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
